   All the searches i`ve done for you are showing that these clamps are heavy duty clamps(ie not standard) as in this 1 mate http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAXO-1-0-1...item1c1c26749f

   I have a great one in Luton, the guy works 7 days, 10am to 9pm, he's slightly more expensive than the likes of GSF/Euro etc, but he's polite and knows his stuff, unlike most of the people I've encountered in GSF/Euro...

    I got two for less than that from my local parts place, suppose its only a fiver though!
    
    No idea why Halfords don't sell them, they do the horseshoe ones.

    It's very strange, my friends 106 one rusted at the back box, bodged it with a spanner for support, wire to hold it and shit loads of tin foil to reduce the blowing so it didn't sound like a chav-mobile. Ended up going from Halfords to a tyre place down the road, got one for £3

    Halfords are a bit hit and miss so god knows!
    
    I tried three near me and the website and couldn't find them so assumed they didnt sell them at any
    
    Parts/Spares places are normally better and cheaper anyway.

    Halfrauds don't do much apart from ripspeed shite and bottom barrel quality overpriced parts, more like halfmongs

    Yeah I find any local dealership with a parts desk is the best for this kind of thing. They even check using my reg at my local Ford dealers.

    I tried halfords for parts once, overpriced crap even with the trade discount, that was about ten years ago, guess things don't change.
